ATsrlIll8 Surgical Operation
4. FATAL MISTAKE.

= TIE Clepeland (Ohio) Press, of February 23d, 1883, pulp lished m account of a fatal surgical operation which caused a great commotion amoug med- ical men tluou ghout the whole country, Dr.. Iaayer, the most eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears tl.at a Mrs. King had been suf'c ing for many years from some dease of the stom- ach, which lad resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de- engagement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by q peculiar lndescfibable dis tress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone" sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increased. After a while the hands and feet became cold and sticky a cold perspiration. There was a constant tired and lan- guid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. Finally the patient was unable to re- tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order tosave the patients life an operation was justifi- able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1885, tie opera tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, pr. leriier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Ilr. Capner, and Dr. Halliwell of the Police Board. 1le operation consist ed in laying open the cavity of the abQonen and exposing the stomach and bowels. When this had been done an examin- ation of the organs vvas made, but to the horror and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The pa tient did not have cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but they sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife disd from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Pfostration {for this was what the disease really was), she would have been liv- ing to-day. SlIA&El, ESTnAcT OF RooTs, or SGIagL's CURATIVE SYRUP, q remedy made ex- pressly for Dysfc 'sia or lndi- gestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its efficacy in curing this class of cases is too voll,minous to be published here; but those who read the published evidence in favor of tLis dyspeptic remedy do not question its convincing nature, and tlIe article has an C. sens.ge sale.

BEN HOGAN'S REVIVAL.
The Reformed Puglist Opens His Evangelical
Work at 7. NJ. G. A. Hall.

Ben Hogan. the reformed prize fighter. began
a series of revival meetings at the Y. NJ c. A.
Hall last night. About 100 persons were pres
ent, and they seemed deeply interested in the
simple, unpretentious talk Of the revivalist
Mr. Hogan took for his theme s'rhe Maniac. y
describing him as the man bound down with the
shackles of sin. All the maniacs, he said were
not incarcerated in the asylums. There were
thousands of them at liberty in every city. The
drunkard. the gambler, the thief the prize
fighter, who thinks he cannot reform. is a
maniac the particular sin that has bound him
down. The speaker related his own experience
with sin; how he would frequently make up his
mind to forsake his sinful ways, and how he
would always find himself unable to Withstand
the temptations that were in his path He had
become a maniac When man had lived In
sin until he became maniac. it was hard to re-
form him. because he would not listen TO the in
ducements of Christianity
In closing his talk MIR. Hogan said if there
was as much religion in the world as professions
indicated the world would be converted in a
short time. The true religion made men go out
in the world and work. and. sorry as he was to
say it. but few of those who professed to be very
God-like did much work.
At the close of Mr.. Hogan's talk, Lieutenant
Avery, of Chicago, spoke briefly, relating his
own experience in being redeemed from a
drunken outcast's condition. Mr.. Hogan will
conduct services at the same place again this

consumed several days, and for which he had
charged $40 for the first day and $3.50 for each
succeeding day during which he was engaged
on the inquest The commissioners claimed
that under the law he was entitled to charge
for but one day. Another feature of the case
was that he had held two inauests ON the day in
question, and had charged SO for each of them
This the commissioners also claimed was illegal
The case went before Judge Walker. and the
commissioners attorneys demurred to the ac-
ton, and asked Judge Walker to decide whether
the matter alleged in the COMPLAINT was suffi-
cent in law to sustain the action for defense.
Judge Walker rendered his opinion yesterday,
and held that where two inquests are held on
der the direction of the coroner and the other
by his deputy. the coroner is entitled $40 for
each body; and that if the inquest is continued
longer than one day, he is entitled to s.. 90 for
each succeeding day. The same law. he said.
held good as to the deputy The case will now
be put on trial upon its merits, and the general
opinion among attorneys is that DIR. Wagner
has all the law upon his side.
The commissioners have shown the spirit OF
their night against the coroner In another IN
stance by refusing witness fee bill for seventy
five cents, which was assigned to him by the
owner. Several days ago poor woman, hay
ing dead child at her home, claimed her wit
ness fee of seventy-five cents. saying she wanted
the money to help defray the expenses of the
funeral The commissioners refused 1t, and DE-
Wagner gave her the amount and she assig ned
the bill to him He told her as soon as he col
lected it she should have that amount also DIR
Wagner is preparing to bring suit tor the
amount not, he says for the money, but on ac-
count of the principle involved. and for the pur-
pose of showing the board up in its true light.
